Jim, After all the treasury is missing out on $50-100 billion a year in tax revenue while the gulf between the haves and have nots gets wider by the day and the economic crushing it would take to straighten it out gets more drastic by he day.

Of course the treasury makes up for it with the inflated housing prices and the funny money being pumped into the economy thanks to homwowners cashing in. Not sure how this will "correct" itself. Inflation?
